Andrien Duchamps was the fourth and final President of the Brissac Republic before its incorporation into Kolda in 1984. Although originally considered an establishment of the system of Arrivee rule of Kolda, was considered a reformer in his later years as he negotiated with the Kolda Liberation Front during the later years of the Koldan War. In his early career, Duchamps served in the Moudjerria Revolt against the Jayesh Al'ajdad.
Early Life
Born Andrien Jean-Paul Duchamps in rural Côte d'Argent Province in Laeral to a landowning family, Duchamps and his family left the country when he was only 4 years old as the Republican Era brought upon land reforms that threatened the wealth of the Duchamps family. The family was soon given a plot of land in the Moudjerria Region that had previously been occupied by native farmers before 1920. Duchamps wrote about growing up in the small town of Bonneville D'eau in his autobiography "Visions of a State". He described the town as "an oasis of light, in the darkness of the dry plans". In 1932, Bonneville D'Eau was raided by the armed forces of Jayesh Al'ajdad, or "Army of the Ancestors". Accounts differ on the events of the raid, with Duchamps claiming a dozen settlers were brutally killed. Although documents in Arabic from the time describe simply stopping by the town and intimidation of locals converts of the Church. Either way, Duchamps was living with his uncle, Frédéric Duchamps in Saint-Paul by 1934. Duchamps attended the well-known L'Ecole des Garçons de Saint-Paul until 1938, when upon hearing of the Moudjerria Revolt, reportedly snuck out of his dorm and rode across the country to take up arms.[a]
